Hello Albert
Hey ! It is PDF MANUAL BOOK , please !

I has been struggle how to installed or paste real hot link or web site on my eBay Page but it always failed !
When I click on link and it ended up "error".
For an example http language : <br><a target="_blank" href=”https://www.manualslib.com/manual/468893/Triplett-630-Ns.html#manual“>Triplett Model 630-NS</a><br>
That is exactly I am trying to paste onto eBay but eBay re-direct under www.ebay.com/etc ..... with error (weird animal show). You know what I mean ?

Hello to all,
It is MY FIRST time to test with my MPP memory board on 600XL. It does works fine as stand alone. BUT it has a problem with The!Cart cartridge. Is that normal to see blank , No names listed. My The!Cart works fine on 800XL BUT not on 600XL with MPP external memory board. Another hand , my 600XL with 64k external works great with my favorite SIO2SD "Driveless" adapter. Has anyone have the same issue as mine ? Any one ?

Hello to all,
Thank you for all your help and hint. Do you have any idea what it might be worthy ? Is that rare piece as circuitboardless keyboard ?
-
One remaining mystery to me. Why there are NO "Return" or "Enter" key caps at all ??? Do you think "Line Feed" or "Here is" key caps might mean for "Return" instead ???
-
No, I will not pulling anything on any of those key caps. Why ? Too fragile to breaking down easily.
So must created my own circuit board as key matrix ? Still don't know which terminals that might using that kind of keyboard ? Heh ...
Must be hard to find which terminals that match keyboard above ?

No circuit board? That's really weird
There you go ! Just tiny metal pins below the key caps. Yes, 2 pins each. At least can you tell me which terminals using that kind "unique" keyboard style ?
-
No foam or foil contacts , nothing. Just bare plastic. Keytronic may be but which terminals or computers that using the exactly same keyboard above. It does not even have flat ribbon cable, nothing.

1) Connect the XU1541 to your USB. Run the zadig program. If it doesn't list any devices, click the Options menu and list all devices. Select the xu1541 from the drop-down and select libusb-win32, then click Install driver.
2) opencbm 0.4.99.99: from administrative command prompt, run "install xu1541"
3) CBMXfer 100 installer, change the installation directory to 'C:\Program Files\OpenCBM\'
(This installs and registers the VB6 modules for the GUI)
You have to manually add C:\Program Files\opencbm to the system PATH.
These are the direct instructions OLDCS1 gave me. So yeah, what you want to do is go download opencbm 0.4.99.99 and run the installer. It should automatically run Zadig during installation. Choose libusb-win32 out of the dropdown list and install it. Keep note that since you're using Zoomfloppy and I used xu1541 you may have to change and experiment with bits and pieces. After all that open cmd as administrator. Go to whatever directory obencbm installed itself in, and type "install {something}". I had to type "install xu1541" but again, you're using zoomfloppy, I haven't a clue what you will have to type in. It should give you the CBMXfer installer. In the installation menu thing, change the installation directory to C:\Program Files\OpenCBM. Then add C:\Program Files\OpenCBM to the system path. Yeah, it's pretty nasty stuff and it turned out to be quite unreliable, but it works.
At first , I am bit confused about detected the hardware , ZoomFloppy. My out of date CBMXfer 1.10 (I think ). I can't find the exactly version under application folder. CBMXfer does not detected to my ZoomFloppy BUT my Window 10 does show ZoomFloppy Hardware with firmware there.
I don't understand , 0.4.99.99 is the last updated on 2017-09-05 ? Same as mine ?? That is 3 years old CBMXfer application ? Okay, I will installed "CBMXfer 100 installer". What is exactly VB6 modules do ?

Generic keyboard for projects.
Thank you for your search and found the match number 275-1422 but it is still NOT match what I have it. Please look at the photo below. There you go. The box front generic keyboard is not match to that black keyboard. So I want to know which exactly terminals that are using the very same keyboard below.

Tandy sold bare CoCo keyboards, TI-99/4A keyboards, ADAM keyboards, Model III keyboards, etc...
None of them above. I will drop the photo soon in this weekend, I hope. Because this keyboard has really weird labels on the key caps. It does not have any "Return" or "Enter" for that matters.
-
Hello to all !
Anyone who can tell me what is this generic oddly internal keyboard for which computers or terminals ? I would not find anything on Bing.com , nothing.

Has the transfer software detected the drive at all? You'll have to go through all sorts of nasty stuff to get this working.
I don't think so , it has not been detected anything even thur it is always on 1571.

Can you tell me what version did you using on PC CBMXfer application ?

Thank you Jaybird3rd ,

Please forgive me for a little too strong question. His funeral web site does not say anything why he die of ? 53 years old ...
I would love to visit there but unfortunately. I live too far from Yonker, NY. Yes, I did visited that town before. Just once.
